#1 Angel - Kindness.

This year's big cross stitch project will be a series of 12 angels. They are being published in the World of Cross Stitch magazine throughout the year. They are designed by Joan Elliot, the designer who did the Angel of Cross Stitch many years ago. Cross stitch friends may remember that was the design that used all the DMC range to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of DMC threads...of course I did that pattern when it came out, just for the challenge of using every single colour! ;) 

The design was to be stitched on an afghan blanket, but I am working them on a piece of evenweave that was in the stash...so far stitching up quite quickly! We have borrowed the 1st series of LOST DVD's from a friend.....so this gives me lots of stitching time each evening! This is where I am up to at the moment.

Here is the 1st angel completed.
